Although Bambi had everyone believing that deer wore chastity belts until each Spring, the mating season for them is actually in the Fall, and for the next few weeks, randy little deer will be looking for dates all over the forest.

Unfortunately, those dates are sometimes across roads, which means this is the most dangerous time for deer collisions when driving in wooded areas.

According to State Farm, both October and November account for one third of all vehicle-deer collisions.

But just because the accident is classified as a “collision,” simply having collision coverage in your car insurance policy doesn’t protect you from frolicking fawns.

In order to be protected against jaywalking deer, you must have comprehensive coverage, which differs from collision in that it covers against accidents that are not caused by colliding with another vehicle.
